1364 Coronation Coronations Ermine Kneeling Mitre
EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print depicts the momentous occasion of the coronation of Charles V, King of France (1337-1380), in Reims Cathedral in 1364. The meticulously detailed image captures the solemnity and grandeur of the ceremony, with Charles kneeling before the Archbishop of Reims, who holds the regal orb and the scepter, symbolizing the transfer of power and authority. The new king is adorned in the rich robes of royalty, bedecked with ermine fur, and wears the majestic mitre on his head, signifying his spiritual role as the anointed ruler. The coronation customs of the Middle Ages were steeped in history and symbolism, reflecting the deep-rooted belief in the divine right of kings. The ceremony was a spectacle of opulence, involving the blessing of the monarch by the Church, the presentation of the regalia, and the acclamation of the people. The coronation of Charles V marked a significant moment in French history, as he was the first Valois king of France, and his reign saw the consolidation of the French monarchy's power and influence. This evocative print offers a glimpse into the rich tapestry of medieval history, transporting us back to a time of grandeur, tradition, and the enduring power of monarchy. The intricate details of the artwork, from the intricately designed robes to the ornate architecture of the cathedral, serve as a testament to the skill and artistry of the artist, making it a must-have for any history or art enthusiast's collection.
